Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-20856:
-----------------------------------------------
there is CASSSIDECAR-272 which is going to read this so I think that it should
be indeed redacted.
> system_views.settings exposes encryption and TDE passwords in plaintext over
> CQL

> Key: CASSANDRA-20856
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20856
> Project: Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Feature/Virtual Tables
> Reporter: Hayato Shimizu
> Priority: Normal
>
> Selecting from the virtual table {{system_views.settings}} shows the
> property values cassandra.yaml faithfully, including the ones that contain
> passwords.
>
> Any user with {{SELECT}} on {{system_views.settings}} can read these secrets.
>
> {code:java}
> cqlsh:system_views> select * from settings where name =
> 'client_encryption_options.truststore_password';
> name | value

> client_encryption_options.truststore_password | changeit
> (1 rows)
> cqlsh:system_views> select * from settings where name =
> 'client_encryption_options.keystore_password';
> name | value

> transparent_data_encryption_options.key_provider.parameters |
> {keystore_password=cassandra, keystore=conf/.keystore, store_type=JCEKS,
> key_password=cassandra} {code}
> Passwords and secrets should be handled as a special case and not exposed in
> plain text in any of the virtual tables.
> Observed in 4.1.x and 5.0.x
